....The Suez Canal is a strategic Egyptian waterway which connects between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

According to eyewitnesses, the U.S. battleships were the largest to have crossed the Canal in many years, Al-Quds reported.

Egyptian opposition members have criticized the government for cooperating with the U.S. and Israeli forces and allowing the ships' passage through
Egyptian territorial waters.

They said the viewed the event as Egyptian participation in an international scandal, and added that the opposition would not sit with its arms
crosses while the country allowed a fleet of U.S. and Israeli military ships to cross.

Interesting timing with the Iranian ships having just set sail . I can't find any other articles about it on google news yet but this is only just
coming out I gather . Can we try and find out the name of these ships, when they set sail, where they were stationed before making their way here -
what is this all about, is America flexing its muscles here ?

Looks like the locals are falling out with yet anther puppet goverment set up by the zionists.

Where are the ships heading and does anyone beleive the UK nuclear sub is realy heading out to the falklands or are they going for another WMD war
with Iran because it's sells oil and is not force to except fiat $$$$ for the exchange.

Does anyone think they are trying to control every drop of oil just so that the price of oil at the pumps go down because i don't and this scam needs
to be stopped.

I believe this do to that Iran is sending Aid to Gaza. If the news is right a lot more ships will try to breach the Israeli blockade of Gaza in the
months to come. This is a display that shows that the US will aid Israel to keep the blockade secure.

PS:

It might also have something to do with the new UN sanctions on Iran. Meaning the US will have a right to search Iranian cargo ships traveling in
international waters.

The US 5th Fleet is in the area. My guess is that anyone who sees a US ship, whether is a frigate, destroyer or cruiser, will call it a
"battleship". However, this is the 5th Fleets area of operation. Why would this be suspicious?

I believe the last 'true' US battleship was decommissioned around 1992/93 or so. However, Aircraft carriers are sometimes reported as battleships
in news articles. Also, using the term battleship sounds more ominous.

I could be mistaken, but I also believe that Israel has a class of patrol boats that they refer to as battleships as well.

This is the 5th fleets area of operation.....unless you see missles flying or have reports on the US fleet heading off the Iranian relief ships.....it
is perfectly legit for these ships to be in this area....

Yeah but ah if you read the article y
It says 12 us battle ships and one israeli ship. If you think they are referring to aircraft carriers as you suggest then we just sent every carrier
we have to the red sea lol. If you think they are referring to the one israeli ship...well the article says 12 battle ships not one. I'm assuming you
can not read though just like many others on this site.
